Nah. Borderlands was Hellgate London on steroids. It was pseudo-RPG-ish nonsense with a shoddy weapon system slapped on top. That never works well.

Rage is first and foremost a first-person shooter. It's not trying to be "Diablo with guns" or any such poop. It's more like Doom with static weapon upgrades from Dead Space. And more open spaces. And a "lite" quest system.

So, I went back and watched all 4 videos. Can't anyone come up with a new idea? You are in a "Vault" called an Ark. When you emerge after 100 years after an asteroid hit the earth in 2038, you are encountered by "Bandits" and survivors. And you get around this Wasteland with vehicles that look like something out of Mad Max.

Good Lord. Can they be any more like Fallout/Borderlands? sheesh.

Don't get me wrong, I am going to get it - but damn guys, lets try NOT to recreate the wheel eh?
